Swara has condemned Agnihotri as "low and sick" after he suggested that the actress make a trip to Bastar, Chhattisgarh to understand how the 'real vagina' feels like.

"We have interviewed many 'ex-naxal' women in Bastar. Each has gut-wrenching stories to tell, full of abuse, rape and misogyny. If they marry, they aren't allowed to have children. I think fake feminist Swara Bhasker must make a trip to understand how the 'real vagina' feels like," Agnihotri wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

"What women need to understand that it's because of the fake feminists like Swara that the feminist movement gets jeopardised. You just can't piss off people and win the most critical war of modern times - the gender empathy," he added.

Replying to the tweet, Swara said, "I'm sorry did you just suggest that I go get myself raped? Like seriously? You typed out this tweet Vivek? I'd say pretty low and sick even by your own abysmal standards of conduct and civility."

On Tuesday, at an event in Mumbai, Swara defended her much talked-about letter.

"I had a few questions in mind which I felt was very legit questions, so I asked them. If people do not agree, that's completely fine with me. We live in a democracy, so it's a nice thing that we have difference in opinions on issues and I think we should have debate and discussions because art always has that intent," she said.

The actress also asserted that she had never thought that using the V-word (vagina) will create so much chaos.

Swara expressed her dissent over the Jauhar (self-immolation) scene in Padmaavat. The film, that hit the screens on January 25, stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor in the lead roles.
